E665: Cannot start GUI, no valid font found

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I see the following message, when I run gvim on CentOS.

E665: Cannot start GUI, no valid font found

Can somebody let me know how to fix it?

Regards,
Peng

I think there is a possibility that this stems from a 'guifont' setting
incompatible with the current Vim build, or specifying a font not
installed on the current system.

There are four dirrerent incompatible settings for 'guifont' (five, if
you include the format used by the obsolete kvim), and each gvim version
accepts only one of these formats.

See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI for details.

Best regards,
Tony.
